Need help in diagnosing loss of power
Hey just got my 7 and love it, fast off the line (well was till now).
Anyways i was out driving her, and then the techo just died, and the car started to lose a lot of power, i've changed the sparkplugs (they needed to be done anyways) but i'm not the best with cars. just starting to learn. and i want to learn as much as i can about the 7's.
I'm driving a 1983 last of the series 2, she needs some love on the outside but can you guyts help thanks Andy

Easiest way to check would be to verify spark on both leading and trailing. It should be the trailing ignitor or coil that is causing your issue, but sometimes things get switched around a bit so its best to be sure before you start swapping parts. Good luck.

Hmm, maybe someone moved the wire for the tach to the leading ignition. If you lost the leading ignition then you would definitely notice a loss in performance. Check for spark...
